You will then see the ACPI section pop up. However, it didn't work with my new PC - wouldn't power off. Take a look at ACPI on sourceforge - I used the 2.4.20 patch of 12/12/2002 and it worked great. Sorted out an invalid acpi signature I had too (in /var/log/dmesg on booting). My pc now powers off when shutdown. They also have acpi mailing lists.
